About The Loh Down On Science

Airs Weekdays 2:31, 3:31 and 5:49 a.m.

The Loh Down on Science is the fun way to get your daily dose of science in less than two minutes. The program explains the world of science with a dash of humor. Hosted by writer/performer and Caltech alumna Sandra Tsing Loh, it's a program for those who love science as well as for those who avoid it!

A typical procedure is a lot like gardening. First, a hairy strip of scalp at the back of the head, about one by fifteen centimeters, is removed. That strip is divided into two hundred "bulbs" of hair follicles, which are painstakingly implanted in tiny incisions wherever hair is needed.

Takes about ten hours. And while it works, it can be a little. . . noticeable.
